Warnock Odds On Favourite For Whites Job

Closes every night mate. It's so the bookies don't get stung overnight. They reassess before reopening markets in morning.

1/10 when it closed.

It's only the English bookies that apply, so Sky is the only strange one. Betfair for example doesn't need to close because it's matched betting, whereas William Hill and Ladbrokes do because they're unmanned overnight. It was only the English bookies offering on odds on Leeds, that's why the oddschecker page has gone blank every night at 10pm. If you open Wolves up tomorrow you'll see another dozen companies offering odds.

In Sky's case, I can only assume they don't expect any real change over night, so there's no real danger of them getting stung. With Leeds, they could do if - for example - Warnock rules us out and it becomes clear a 14/1 or 20/1 shot is nailed on.

£20 says it's back tomorrow.

Good

Of those linked, there's only McCarthy I'd have rather had. Happy enough with Warnock. He must have demanded a transfer budget for summer, and he won't stand for any of the Williams/Harvey player recruitment bollocks. We need a big character.

That's the worst bit. That I actually want Warnock is killing me. This is what Bates has reduced us to.

Taylor's in on the basis that Warnock likes his 'keepers old, experienced and Irish. I think Connolly is very much a Warnock player as are Bruce and O'Brien - he's always been partial to a grizzled centre-back partnership. Personally I'd have Lees & Thompson in the mix but Warnock has always looked to experience. Nunez is probably too flaky for him but he did have Tarrbat as a key part of his QPR sides so who knows. Anyway pure speculation, if Di Matteo gets the nod I'd expect to see the side with a higher proportion of pacy youngsters. Don't know about Townsend, looks like he should be good and did really well for Millwall and Spurs certainly rate him - maybe we just don't play to his strengths

I think he'll take it because he'll be itching to get back into management and he won't need to move. Bit that said, he must be a bit miffed that he has to drop back down to League One after already twice proving himself, with us and Blackpool, good enough in the Championship.

Bluesman Me too. He'd go from -3,000,000 to -2,999,995.

Bluesman That's a 1-10 scale by the way.

TSS On my scale he would be -3000 + 1, but at least there would be some hope! My fear is that the more we rev him up the worse he will get, if that is possible! Like your scales though!

Colin my contempt for bates is only exceeded by that of Lorimer. I never have nor ever will like ken bates, but lorimer was once my hero

Tim Campbell im off to give the BOARD MEMBER grief tomorrow either in the tent or at some point he has lost any credibility now

Thanx pal, Bates has his hand so far up Lorimers ass all hes good for now is Bates glove puppet.

Di Matteo ?

Tyler75 I have to ask why ????

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Gianluca Vialli yet. The fact that he has been out of management for nearly a decade would surely appeal to Bates: as us fans would not remember what we are getting and have to wait and see to find out (the hard way).

SirRockAlot I'd just like some structure, order, and a hint that we might at least move forward. I know, I am too demanding.

TSS Personally I'm gutted that Guus Hiddink has just signed with that dodgy Dagestan team, Anzac Macarena. I was really, really hoping that Bates was going to deliver the WOW factor for once.
